[Opinions] Re: Tamerlane?
in reply to a message by Caemlyn
I'm sorry but it's little better than calling a child Adolf. It's not the same at all than Julius and Alexander because Caesar and Alexander the great are, rightly or wrongly, perceived more positively (inversely, Tamerlane himself, though a bloodthirsty warrior, may have been portrayed in an exceedingly negative light, for instance apparently he was a patron of the arts, contrasting the idea that he was an ignorant barbarian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamerlane).
